Hubby said, Can you clean my eyeglasses. I forgot to and I put on hand cream and it got on them.

How hard could that be?

I went into the kitchen, because I have found shampoo and dishwashing detergent work best on eyeglasses.

Went to dry them. Got a napkin from under the sink to dry them.

and

bugs!!!!!

Bugs that looked like dust or paper. Except some of the dust had legs.

Somehow some dog kibble got under there. (It is under there, but in sealed containers.)

So, I had to empty under the sink (corner sink, lots of space under it.)
Throw out most of the stuff.
Wash everything I kept..
Wash the inside of the cabinet.
Empty the food drawers in the next cabinet. Throw out all that open food, Clean that cabinet. (no bugs, but this whole infestation was only a few days old, why take chances.)
Check cabinet on the other side, but that has no food.

So, now I have some clean cabinets, a sort of clean floor, clean countertop. Lots of garbage, but it is garbage day.

Then washed the clothes I had on and took a shower.

Where the hell did they come from? I was in the back of that cabinet two days ago.
They looked like dusty dirt.

WE LURV YOU TOO! Dork!!!

There were all sorts of stories when my kids were little. People in Manhattan trying to get unborn kids on the list for the proper nursery school. That feeds into the proper grade school, to the proper high school that is a feeder school to the Ivy league.

This isn't a "proper" school, public school with a really good reputation. Actually, it's a German language school, which seems odd.

Honestly, if we had a school that could do more for Ver1 I'd be in line too (or make Orc cammp out). Her school isn't bad, but she's already bored, and they just don't have the resources they need to keep her moving. I mean the teacher is trying, but it's all independent study stuff with no direction.

Foriegn language schools have really good reputations, plus there is a lot of evidence that show kids do well with multiple languages. I have a jewish friend who is sending her daughter to a spanish language school and suggested I do the same for Ver1 as it would give her stuff to learn, whilse she waits for her class to catch up, but we don't have any here.

Haven't heard of that, but I know they were starting a language immersion program in the grade schools.
Spanish and Chinese (which ever one is spoken in Hong Kong)]
Kids spend most or all of the day speaking that language.

But I don't know if it made it past the budget cuts.

Daughters friends told her after the third language, it is easy.
Most of these kids learned an Asian language as babies. English in school, or home and Spanish or French as a subject.

That would be cantonese. Ver1 gets a little Spanish each week, but it's not enough. She is also attending a sign language class with her dad, which is good. I'd love for her to learn Mandarin (the other chinese language).

Morning all. Finished all the work on the built-in entertainment center modding so no it's just adding a top to it. Wanted to go hard surface but it's close to the kitchen and if/when I update the kitchen counter (currently white laminate), I would want them to match or at least coordinate. Bit the bullet and bought granite for kitchen and the entertainment center. That meant buying a new undercount sink and cooktop. Sigh.

Color is Ubatuba. Pretty popular so you can google it easily. Has a green tint to it.
